Look for cruises. Ask about including air fare both ways. It will be cheaper and you will all enjoy the all-inclusive cruise.Look for a cruise out of Miami, or Port Canaveral. Go to vacationstogo.com and cruisedeals.com and search for the best fares for two inside cabins.

Question by sky_kats: What are the best sites to track great transatlantic flight deals from USA to UK?
My friends and I are planning to visit Edinburgh in September. Right now we are about to book our lodging and wait to buy airfare until later (when its hopefully cheaper). I am a member of several email lists that give notification of travel deals but they are mainly US based carriers.

I need sites that have low cost tickets from the US, preferrably CLT airport, to EDI. I don’t mind flying to another airport in the UK, if the combined transportation costs are cheaper than a connecting flight to EDI (example, flying into Glasgow or London and taking a cheaper flight or public transport to Edinburgh).

Lastly, with charges and fees, right now flights are about $ 1000 USD or 500£. We are looking for lower if possible. In January, British Air was offering $ 250 flights each way and something like that would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Best answer:

Answer by Mr. T’s Pretty Cuzzin
You probably won’t find $ 250 each way on CLT-EDI in September. Winter transatlantic airfares are cheapest; summer most expensive. This should help: http://www.farecompare.com/fare-search/year.html?destination=EDI&s=r&t=r&departure=CLT&type=homepage2 .. it rates airfares so you know what’s historically a good fare on a route, so you can be ready to purchase when the price drops at or near that level again. http://www.bookingbuddy.com is also good.

Question by dazegg2000: If I am going to book a holiday to Kenya, would I get a cheaper deal if I book it during the January sales?
Do travel agent have sales in January like other shops?

Best answer:

Answer by maurice k
You will get cheaper rates if you book during the low season and January falls within the low season. The high season is June – September. Also if you are on budget you should get smaller travel agents – they will give you good rates. I am a tour guide / consultant based in Nairobi. I deal with budget safaris around east africa. You can get me at xkcox@yahoo.com I can assist you to choose the best Kenya safari. Please feel free to contact me for further enquiries.

Question by riversrightfoot: What to expect when traveling to North Carolina in late December/January?
So I’m from Texas and we don’t really get much action as far as snow goes – we have some ice/sleet to deal with but rarely does the snow actually stick to the ground. I was wondering what to expect if I take a road trip to North Carolina leaving in late December and returning early January. We’d be traveling through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and SC. It’d be great to know if I’d probably encounter inclement weather on my way there or back. Would I need snow chains on my tires? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by wndrlys
You may encounter some inclement weather, but you definitely do not need snow chains on your tires. If you do encounter any really bad weather, as someone who is not accustomed to driving in it, you should pull over and wait it out.

There is a trip planning feature on weather.com that can probably give you pretty sound advice. Some roadmapping sites might also have weather alerts built in.

I am from Virginia, and I drove an Elantra with a u-haul behind it from Virginia to Texas a few years ago.

Question by mario: How can I find a travel agent in Connecticut who is an expert on Australia?
I live in West Hartford and am looking for a travel agent who really knows Australia. I am planning on a honeymoon there for December-January and we want to know our options and find the best deals.

Best answer:

Answer by <3Mason
you’d probably be best to give flight centre a call or go onto their site www.flightcentre.com.au
they organize travel, accommodation and activities for you. Australia is HUGE! so different companies will specialize in different areas.

my suggestion is to visit places like: (Noosa, Sunshine Coast) If you have a bit of money to spend
(Kakadu, Northern Territory) if you like the outdoors
(Oprah House, Sydney) if your into the city and landmarks.
for a Honeymoon, your better off sticking to coastal areas…. try not to go too far inland, you dont want to kill your partner in the Aussie Outback

Question by Matt819: Wheres the best deals to travel to Taipei during december.?
I need to travel from Dec 22 at night though, or Dec 23 anytime from LAX until January 4th, or 5th(round trip ticket) please find something lower than $ 600 after tax!!!

Best answer:

Answer by AL75
Wait for SIA to announce their promotions. Promotional price is abt $ 348 (min 2 to travel). With added tax will be abt $ 440 or so. Great deal. But that’s only for airtix. The period u’re travelling is a peak season (Xmas season), so hotels may cost higher. Don’t go through agents cos they can never beat the air tix price that SIA offers.
Good Luck!
